Unable to travel to New York City for St. Nicholas' Annual Kermish (Names Day Celebration), His Eminence, delivered a live greeting, congratulating the faithful of the "10th Street" parish on the completion of extensive renovations to their parish fellowship and banquet hall, and the installation of a new elevator. His Eminence's remarks were projected on a large screen monitor where all who were in attendance could both see and hear His greeting. Leading the faithful in singing of the traditional hymn to St. Nicholas (O Kto Kto) and in the singing of God Grant You Many Years (Mnohaja Lita), Metropolitan Nicholas concluded by giving His blessing to begin the ribbon cutting ceremony and the celebratory banquet.

May God Bless the Faithful of St. Nicholas of Myra Church on the celebration of their Kermish or Names' Day Celebration, and Preserve them for Many Years.
